»Silicon Valley Talent War
The war for tech talent is forcing new and established companies in Silicon Valley
to pony up escalating amounts of cash and stock to hire�or keep�employees.

Total compensation has increased about 10 percent in 12 to 18 months,
based on his firm's business which places engineers at start-ups.

The median pay for a software developer has increased by more than 14 percent
since the first quarter of 2009, with a significant spike in 2012.
In the past two years, wages have grown by 10 percent.

This talent war is also forcing some bigger, established companies
to cough up more money to keep employees from fleeing to start-ups.
